On this week's podcast we discuss all-things space NOT including NASA's Artemis & SpaceX. But instead share some updates from the AG3D Printing Lab, Orbital News from Mars, & review the upcoming DART mission.

- AG3D Lab releases it's v3 design for the James Webb Space Telescope. We tested out a new durable resin and share some of the process of using our larger resin 3D printer the ELEGOO Saturn S.

- Mars Update 1: 3D printing Martian regolith (soil) with a Ti mixture could provide huge benefit for life on Mars. A little soil goes a long way, and could solve problems not possible with space mission designs today.

- Mars Update 2: The Perseverance Rover's MOXIE instrument has successfully converted CO2 into Oxygen and Carbon Monoxide. Oxygen so pure we can breathe it and use it for fuel on a return mission to Earth.

- DART Mission will impact an asteroid/moonlet (dual Asteroid system Didymos and Dimorphos) on Sept to see if we are better than the Dinosaurs. Kinetic Impacter spacecraft to prove strategic physics can prevent extinction-level event. DART IMPACT:
